I thought Y'all meant Steve Earle's Christmas in Washington and I was about to lose my sh*t

However, I looked up the song you meant by that Maura chick and ... ugh....

This is Earle's:

It's a "rape anthem" only because your sordid mind made it that.

Ok, nasty troll.

But to reply generally: The song literally includes the line 'say, what's in this drink?' When the female character is trying to get out of staying and the male character is arguing she should stay. Read the lyrics; it's a messed-up song. Would you want your daughter to be in the position of the female character in the song? Yeah. Didn't think so.

It's alcohol. She doesn't sound scared. She is flirting and playing hard to get.

After hearing those two songs, how can anyone think there are worse Christmas songs?

Yep. This should end the thread. There is nothing worse than these two songs.

This is the consensus in our family as well.

I have mixed feelings on "Baby It's Cold Outside". I kind of like the song, and on the one hand it's cute and flirty. But in the current climate, it can strike me as a bit rapey depending on who is singing it. I take "what's in this drink?" as "whoa, I'm a bit buzzed, this is strong", not "are there roofies in this?" But it can still come off a little creepy.

Here's a taste of the first verse:
Hey, Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
It's Dominick, the donkey
Chingedy ching, hee haw, hee haw
The Italian Christmas donkey
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, laeohda

This song is beloved in our family for its horribleness.

Otherwise, for pop music, definitely Christmas shoes. Idk how you can hate on poor Dominic the Donkey though, love that one.

I love that song and think it's beautiful.

That is the only way to love it. Embrace the awful.

Try "Merry Xmas" by the Dragonettes - my kids and I love it so much we'll listen to it in the summer.

Other non-traditional:
The Christmas Song by the Raveonettes. Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses. "Joseph Who Understood" by the New Pornographer. "Santa Stole My Lady" Fitz & the Tantrums. "Silver Bells" Tal & Acacia
